Just about to give up

is your host using php 5.2 or 5.2.2 ?
Linux ? Windows ? Server.
please provide more information on your host setup.

is drupal installed in a subfolder ? or in your webroot ?

are you or any software your using blocking cookies ?

does the same happen with the 4.7.x-dev release http://drupal.org/drupal-4.7.x-dev ?
this package already has some/if not all of the known patches committed up til the time it was rolled.

Not sure the inention of webcalendar is to give each user a calendar, or whether its a community calendar everyone can add too. Something for you to investigate.

Just to be clear- with 4.7.4 there is no installer. Did you drop all the tables from the 5.x install and manually load the 4.7.x tables?

Also, did you use the Webcalendar integration module, or did you try to integrate it yourself?

I've been struggling with being unable to access my image files after migrating my website. Can't seem to solve it or get any help here.

I'm moving to e107. I found I could build as functional a website with it, but without all the frustrations and problems I have with drupal. I had high hopes, but this is just too frustrating.

Best of luck with your problems, Andy.

I'm not sure if I can help but I had similar problems yesterday with the login problem. I had version 4.6.10 running (trial - no live data) and then attempted to upgrade direct to 5.0 rc1 and that didn't go too well.

I ended up doing a complete fresh install. For the first attempt I edited the 'settings.php' file accordingly (user name, password, database and base url) before uploading. The install didn't work properly, didn't take me to the database configuration screen.

For my second attempt, I didn't edit the 'settings.php' file and just left it as supplied and uploaded up the files. That did the trick, The database configuration screen appeared and then followed the instructions.

Hope this helps.

A few words of support.

Looking around it seems the log in problem has been around for a while - has anyone got to the bottom of it?

Possible answer could be simply "No-one and never will". This login problem is just the top of a huge iceberg that yet has to be revealed. As you go further with Drupal you will want to install many other things (read modules)...and guess what :) That means a lot of dedication and lot of banging on the keyboard and frustration IF AND ONLY IF you don't know precisely what, how and why you are doing, what are you doing.

I see Drupal as very dangerous, but extremely beautiful beast hard to be tamed. Question is do you want to do that...My web has died 3 times with no "logical" reason showing only "Access denied" and "Page not found" although it was fully developed and working website. I never find out what happened --> Then I start to look more carefully how I'm working with it.

So if you want to continue this interesting journey, calm down for a moment, take your coffee and cigarette, or beer or shaken but not stirred Martini, take a deep breath and start from a scratch:

- check the requirements again. See if they fits here
- find/read some of known tricks around
- make fresh install. Delete all tables in your Drupal database. Delete all Drupal files on your server.
- install/upload everything, but pay attention to the process
- always learn by examples
- always read "Pending bugs" for some module before you install it! Looks like 90% is crap easy to install and hard to clean after uninstall. The cause of most of the pitfalls are crappy modules.

Thumbs up mate, wish you all the best luck. You gonna need it.
